                      Thursday, September 15, 2011

  Mr. YARMUTH. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to cast the recorded vote for 
rollcall 706. During this time, I was on a conference call with FHWA 
Administrator Victor Mendez. We were discussing the closure of the 
Sherman Minton Bridge, which has severely impacted transportation and 
commerce in my district.
  Had I been present I would have voted ``no'' for this measure.
